October 9, 2007

Hey there, it is almost time for Sebastian and me to fly away south with the numberous Canadian Geese we see every day. I have mixed feelings about leaving since I haven't had a chance to stay in my house yet. I hope to sleep there at least once before I leave but the propane company hasn't delivered any fuel yet. It has been very warm here until today. Now it is rainy and getting colder. Bash and I are cozy in the MH. Tomorrow I will move the coach down to my house. I have tire trouble so must stop and get it repaired on the way. Luckily there is someone nearby who can fix it.

The little house looks really "cottagey" (don't know if that is a word). But it looks like somewhere one would like to live if you like small places. I like the colors I've chosen and my antiques look good there. I wish I could stay here for the winter but I need to be in Tampa by Nov. 5th for an appointment. Lots of catching up to do in Virginia before I go further south. Been sampling the fresh macs and the cider donuts which are abundant this time of year. The leaves are beautiful and subdued from the dry weather. I just realized yesterday that I had to find someone to plow the snow in my driveway this winter. Funny what you forget when you have been gone for 20 years.

I went out to the mall today and bought those little essentials every home needs - dishrack, drainer, paper towel holder, towel bar, towels, hot mitts etc. etc. When I think back to the number of homes I have set up since I was eighteen, I can't believe it. But even though I have been through this process many times, it is still fun. Actually, it has been like Christmas finding the things in the boxes that I wrapped up 4 years ago. Many things I thought I had sold or given away. I still have way too many things. My sis and I are talking about a lawn sale in the spring.

Had lunch in Salem, NY today at Steinbrinners where they make homemade chocolates. They have a delightful Cafe there as well. I lunched with my daughter-in-law and her grandmother who is 90 years old. We've been trying to do this all summer.
I need to take some pics for you all. I have been too busy with the move.

Lots of RV's on the roads south - just like the flocks of ducks and geese.

Expect miracles!
